Kettlebell Exercise Information
The Kettlebell Snatch is a Loaded Exercise upon which the following exercises build:
Individual exercise information is available by clicking the links above, and more detailed information specified for the Kettlebell Snatch can be found below.
The kettlebell snatch is an exercise where the weight is moved from below the hips to overhead in an explosive and ballistic movement that's uninterrupted.
There are many different kettlebell snatch variations with variables as follows, but certainly not limited to:
Height
Movement
Grip
Loose
Open palm
Waiters grip
Etc.
There is also the full and half snatch. The full snatch is where the kettlebell is snatched overhead and then dropped from overhead into the next rep. The half snatch is where the kettlebell is snatched overhead but then is lowered into a racking position from where it moves into the next rep.
Any Snatch
When you see Any Snatch programmed in a workout, it means that any variation of the snatch can be used. It's up to the athlete to decide what is best to use, a swinging or a squat movement, Hardstyle for speed or Sportstyle for endurance, and so on.
Speed/RPM/Tempo
The shortest path and fastest variation is the hang snatch. The longest and slowest is the pendulum snatch. The longest, but not slowest is the dead snatch.
Slow tempo:
20RPM for the Kettlebell Snatch at a fast tempo.
Fast tempo:
32RPM for the Kettlebell Snatch at a fast tempo.
Alternatives Alternatives for this exercise are:
Kettlebell Clean and Press Kettlebell Clean and Push Press Kettlebell Clean and Jerk
Common Mistake(s):
Kettlebell Snatch
Chin to chest/neck flexion
The chin is close to the chest during any hip hinge movement, for example, a swing, clean, or snatch performed with a hip hinge movement.
Not pulling long enough (snatch)
Not pulling long enough and transferring the work onto the arms or not being efficient.
Straight arm on the drop from overhead in the snatch
Straight arm on the drop form overhead in the snatch and the weight moves too far away from you. The further it moves away from the center of gravity the more resistance it provides.
The heels are raised
The heels are raised in the snatch, clean, or swing.
The press-out happens too late in the snatch
The press-out happens too late in the snatch. The hand insertion and taking control over the weight happens too late.
Using a weight that’s too light for a ballistic/power exercise
Using a weight that’s too light for a ballistic/power exercise.
This is a root exercise upon which exercise variations build.
